The Weeknd | Musician | $100 Million

For an artist who started out posting videos on YouTube, The Weeknd, born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, has certainly achieved plenty when it comes to his music career. He is among the foremost artists in the R&B and Hip-Hop genres, with much credit to his unique sound. He is noted for his music style and incredibly sounding falsetto. Over the course of his career, The Weeknd has managed to sell over 70 million records domestically and more around the world. All his work didn’t go unnoticed by critics—he has multiple Grammy Awards to his name.

His other ventures are just as well-received, including various collaborations with top brands. His most recent release, After Hours, was just as successful as the previous ones. Other than his achievements, he also became well-known for his highly-publicized on and off-dating with supermodel Bella Hadid, and The Heart Wants What It Wants singer Selena Gomez.
